I wanted to share an exciting update about equal pay for women athletes:

Last week, President Biden signed the Equal Pay for Team USA Act into law, ensuring that the women competing for the U.S. in global athletic competitions receive the same kind of pay and benefits as their male counterparts.

Add your name to stand in solidarity with this important step in our commitment to equality and fairness. [[link removed]]

Thank you,

Original message from December 22, 2022:

As the world’s attention is focused on the FIFA World Cup, I’m proud to share that my Equal Pay for Team USA Act just passed in the House and will now head to President Biden's desk.

All Americans are proud to see U.S. athletes represent our country on the world stage – and all Americans should be assured these athletes are being compensated equally.

Add your name here if you agree: It’s only right that the women competing for the United States in global athletic competitions receive the same kind of pay and benefits as their male counterparts. [[link removed]]

Today, men and women can be paid differently for representing Team USA in the same sport. It is long past time for us to work together to right this wrong and get this done.

Over the last few years, a group of women athletes at the pinnacle of their success – including Seattle Reign’s own Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle, had the audacity to say, “We deserve equal pay for our success.”

They’re absolutely right, and anything short of that sends exactly the wrong message across the world and here at home about the American commitment to equality and fairness.

I’m proud to send the Equal Pay for Team USA Act to President Biden so every young girl in every sport knows that we will have equal pay when it comes to sports in the US.

Thank you for your support,

Maria
